Event
An improvised explosive device (IED) planted on a bicycle detonated in the Poole Khoshk area of Kabul's Dasht-e-Bachi settlement Sept. 10, wounding at least three people. No group has as yet claimed responsibility for the incident; however, Islamic State (IS) militants regularly carry out attacks against the Taliban and religious minority groups across the country, particularly in Kabul.
Authorities will almost certainly maintain a heightened security posture near the incident scene in the coming hours. Security personnel may close roadways near the blast site, prompting localized transport disruptions.
